responsibility clinton
Hillary Clinton has emphasized that she is afflicted with or possessed of the responsibility gene.
people wonderful clinton
There are people who know Hillary Clinton who tell wonderful stories about her, how likable she is, how funny she is; 99 percent of American people don't - have never seen that side of her.
smart democrat
Democrats, if they're smart and they're not brain-dead, are doing two things right now.They're having self-deprecating humor written for them. There was no humor in Cleveland. And they are not making this a Donald Trump.
mean thinking clinton
Hillary Clinton should get a bounce out of her convention, I mean a bounce in the polls. I think it's probably conceded that Donald Trump got about a three-point bounce out of his conventions. He's closed the gap that much.
mean privacy clinton
Whether it's her [ Hillary Clinton] guarded privacy or whatever else, I mean, there has got to be some sense that this is a human being that I can identify.
thinking personality colorful
I think Donald Trump is obviously the more colorful, the more flamboyant, the more dominant personality.
personality republican bizarre
If Donald Trump does lose, being revealed as this bizarre personality, Ted Cruz is not going to be what Republicans are looking for in 2020.
liars men narcissistic
Dan Coats, retiring senator from Indiana, a mild-mannered man, a former United States ambassador to Germany, former congressman, said of Ted Cruz he's the most self-centered, narcissistic, pathological liar I have ever seen.And he said, you can quote me on that.
foreign-policy policy soviet-union
The organizing principle of the United States defensive foreign policy had been opposition to the Soviet Union. There is no more Soviet Union.
party thinking republican
I think the Republican Party is cursed. And it's cursed itself.
successful thinking democratic
I think this was as good a Democratic Convention [ this was my 24th convention] as I have seen since the 1976 convention, which nominated Jimmy Carter.I just thought it was a spectacularly successful convention. I don't think Hillary Clinton's speech was spectacular, but I don't think she's a spectacular speaker.
country kind share
If you're on the other side from me, you're not simply wrong or ill-informed or mistaken. We don't share the same country, the same values. You may not be the same kind of an American I am.
political abandoned
White working-class voters or working-class voters have felt abandoned, have felt, in many senses, disparaged by the political leadership of America.
men
Donald Trump is not an unintelligent man.
